We take a look at Key Visuals and the cover arts on MyAnimeList and talk about how we often judge them by their covers to pick what we want to watch. How do you pick what you want to watch besides the PV? Then we also use MAL to play a game at the end!

SUMMER SEASON 2018! Its way too fucking hot outside so we are staying inside to watch Summer Season Anime...ALL FOR YOU. We go through most of the shows and let you know what we like, dont like, and what we just plain didn't understand.

IT'S SEASON FOUR BITCHES!!
For our premiere we talk about Anime Expo 2018 and talk about where we were 3 years ago at the birth of Anime Summit...Of course the only way to do that properly is having our guest be...
But in all seriousness; THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. We are going to keep going until we no longer can. Your support has been amazing. HERES TO ANOTHER YEAR AND ANOTHER SEASON OF ANIME SUMMIT! #SexySummitSquad

Here is a fun episode while Nick recovers from AX 2018 and Kwoka gets back in the swing of things. We ask Kwoka about Korea and answer listener questions too. We are happy he's back but at the same time praying that we don't get any more Kimi No Na Wa Updates. Welcome back ya ass

WHAT A SEASON! Megaloboxing, Klaxosaurs, and psycho kinetic power wielding girls. This season was TRULY fun and had a nice handful of decent shows in it; of course along with a handful of "meh" shows but nothing truly that terrible! Unless you hated Darling in the FranXX which you probably did.
What were your favorite shows this season?

If you were given a HUGE mountain and you were told to carve FOUR things that represent FOUR shows that are monumental to Anime Entertainment, what would you carve? At first Som said Nadesico then everyone took a shot so we were like "Nah."
Join the Summit crew and try to figure out what would be the Mount Rushmore of Anime. What Anime shows/franchises do you think were monumental to the industry and Anime as we know it?

We know its just by popularity...but yall still WRONG! In all seriousness we check out the Top 100 TV anime series on MyAnimeList and try and see if we feel the same way. We break it down and tell you why your favorite shows suck. If you disagree? Well thats just like.. your opinion, man.

Its time to talk about what is known to be a cult classic and even a timeless anime: FLCL aka Fooly Cooly/Furi Kuri...What does Fooly Cooly mean to anime, what does it mean to us, and actually what does the term itself FOOLY COOLY mean? Listen and find out with Nick, Som, and Dannie!

Nick, Som, and Dannie go back in time on the Nostalgia Hype train and reminisce about the time when the afternoon Toonami Block played on Cartoon Network. We then try to tackle the idea of coming up with our own Toonami block to pitch it to the Execs upstairs! What would you put on Toonami if they brought the afternoon block back today?

Here we go again with one of our favorite guests! Tony AKA Black Critic Guy! Hes back to join us and talk about anime and unpopular opinions we have in the anime world! And at the end a bonus where the 4 of us play a game. Have fun!

How is your Spring going? Ours is a bit overwhelming! So many shows...But for our mid impressions we fuck around and talk shit once again and let you guys know what we dropped and picked up so far this season.

HOST SWAP! Havent done one of these in awhile! This time Nick and Dannie trade shows: Nick hands Dannie Baccano! and Dannie gives him Princess Jellyfish. Give MANLY MAN Nick some girly gender bending shit every once in awhile nomsayin?

CUE THE MUSIC! A good soundtrack will power the visual entertainment we are enjoying. In this case its Anime! Here are some of our favs because we thought it powered the anime perfectly..or it was just because we liked the music!

Today we have a cosplay spotlight! In are first ep covering Cosplay we talk with Discord member Heather! She loves cosplay and loves making costumes..She tells us why she loves anime and loves to go to conventions in costume! Let us know if you like these! Should we have more cosplayers on?

Spring is here! We are a couple of weeks late on this one but here we have our first Impressions of what we believe to be so far a pretty awesome Season for Anime. This ones a long one as we go over all of the awesome sequels, the reboots, and cat face johnsons.

How was anime consumed back in the day? Som's cousin Mario tells us tales from Suncoast Video Store and how bootlegs got him through the times before we had the Internet tools and sites that gave us all access to anime today; and also finally the myth of how "My Cousin" Mario turned Som into the Otaku that she is today.

Hi everyone! So due to Nick being sick...we had to move some topics around and do this ep last minute...we rather bring you content then none at all..So Som and Dannie decide to hang out and just talk about whats going on in their lives with Anime...and a Q/A session at the last 20 minutes. We will back with normal schedule next week!

Here it is yall.. The last of our Ghibli Review series...its been fun! And we of course will still revisit other associated works.. For now...please enjoy our final part in our Studio Ghibli Review...Shout out to our host Nick for suggesting this idea and taking us on this crazy journey of awesome Anime films. This review includes "The Tale of Princess Kaguya" .. "When Marnie Was There" .. and a short bonus review of the documentary "The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness"

This is on EVERY Otaku's minds. Theres that list in all of our minds of anime that couldve been done better, ended better, or it just DIDNT end and it needs an end! Or we just want to see it again!
Whats on your Sequels/Reboots/Remake Wishlist? Dannie and Som go through their wish lists!

What up dope fresh Summit Squad! Are you guys still watching this season? Som thinks this season is weird so far; but her opinion doesnt matter cuz shes a filthy casual and Nick has superior taste, and Dannie has a fanny. Darling in the FranXX sucks ok?

We talk about Anime Cinema again! This time with "In This Corner of the World"... A fictional account set in the actual account of Hiroshima Japan before and after the drop of Atomic Bomb during World War II. Exploring themes and the style and the execution of this realistic adaptation of the popular manga!

How is romance displayed in Anime? Do we like it? Is it plot device? Is their kissy kissy face? Check it out in this free range discussion episode on talking about the romance in Anime as Valentines Day draws near

Netflix is steppin up the anime game! This time we review Netflix & Masaaki Yuasa's take on DEVILMAN! Created by the famous Go Nagai. In this remake things get raunchy, bloody, and devil....eeee...Devil-ey? Devilish....Yeah! Devilish.

Happy New Year! New challenges await the Anime Summit crew...so weve called the help of a recent guest to take up the mantle of Anime Summit Host! ThatDannie! Danielle has been an Otaku since a young age like the rest of us and we are excited to have her as a new host and help us further the life of our podcast! So for the first episode of the year its all about DANNIE!

DISCLAIMER: This was recorded before the Thanksgiving Episode. But since we were behind it was done kind of out of order...Please look forward to it all going back to normal and back on track after this episode. Today we discuss Mid Fall Impressions! What do we think so far? Do we relate to MMO Junkie a bit too much?

Happy Thanksgiving!
Sorry for the late upload. This ep we talk about being grateful for Holo...Because Som has never seen Wolf Children because shes hipster..so Mac and Nick yell at her for like an hour. Have fun!

So this week, the MAN of the hour happens to be none other than MANime Matt! He struts in, brings his MANly opinions, shits on some shows, and walks out a total MAN. We shall sing songs of the day we recorded this... No but seriously, we chat with Matt, ask him some shit, then talk about how weekly releases vs bulk release effects our perceptions of anime viewing... By a fireplace, adorned with pictures of Terry Crews... with wood floors and maybe a hunting trophy or two.

(Nick was the genius that came up with the title for this episode) What are feels? Does it matter that Length time Diameter plus Weight over Girth divided by Angle of the tip squared isn't always the result you wanted? How about lewd hand holding?

Also, be advised; Minor spoilerinos may be present but were not harmed in the making of this podchast episode.

Here we gather to talk about what we think of the commonly seen scoring systems of Anime fans! We chat about the different scales, our opinions of them, and what we think is the best! Mac may or may not have been way too drunk to record this.

In one of our fastest turn arounds ever, we come together to talk about Koe no Katachi. And boy oh boy, is it a movie worth remembering. Tune in to hear our thoughts on the movie and the themes of it! Mac may or may not have been sick at the time of recording.

Who would have thought? It's been a long time since episode 1... almost 2 years to be exact, and yet here we are. Still here, talking anime, making fun of each other, and enjoying every second of what we do. This episode is very down to earth and we felt it was a very fitting way to mark 100 episodes complete.
